Tribal, Elemental or Dragonscale Leatherworking?

[Concillian]

My Tauren Hunter is my Leatherworker on the Horde side, and I'm planning to make him a Master Leatherworker after level 40. Now, WOW has three exclusive paths for the advanced Leatherworker: Tribal, Elemental and Dragonscale Leatherworking.

Regardless that he is a Hunter (could use Mail armor from level 40 on), which of the three specializations offers the best quality self-made recipes/items in the long run, or the "best bang for the buck"? After checking the auction houses, it seems that Tribal Leatherworking is the way to go, but I'm not sure. What do the leather experts here say? Or, based on my bad experiences with the very expensive, but weak Armorsmith profession, is any of the three Leatherworking paths worth it at all?

dragonscale is basically the mail path for people who have characters that wear leather pre 40 and mail 40+. Check out the mail patterns on thottbot. I think they have somewhat limited use, but some are in demand.

Tribal is probably the easiest to collect mats for, and the Devilsaur patterns are pretty popular among high level rogues

Elemental offers some rather specific patterns, and some of the elemental type mats are quite rare.

I don't know what patterns have been added recently, but I think they were working on making Elemental and Dragonscale look a little better, because most people were going tribal. Kinda like they've been working on adding some nice Armorsmithing recipes because nobody wanted to go Armorsmithing originally.
